Question

36 kmph is equal to cms-1
step by step solution please​

Answer 1

Answer: 1000 cm/s

Explanation:

The conversion of units has to be done as follows:

1 km = 1000 m and 1 m = 100 cm

So, 1 km = 1000 x 100 = 100000 cm

Now, 1 h = 60 minutes and 1 minute = 60 s

So, 1 h = 60 x 60 seconds = 3600 seconds

Combining the coversions:

36 kmph means 36 km per hour that has to be converted to cm per second:

$36 \frac{km}{h} \times\frac{100000 cm}{1 km} \times\frac {1 h}{3600 s}$ = 1000 cm/s
